Well I figured it was about time I posted this up. I started buying parts early March and had everything installed by CIN Motorsports in Charlotte, NC and got tuned on the 21st by Sharif.

My build included:

Forged Performance short block
HKS Head Gasket
CJ Motorsports Stage 2 upgrade
RC 650cc injectors
Greddy Twins w/ FMIC
Greddy Evo 2 TT exhaust
HKS EVC 6 Boost Contoller
ect.

I already had the UTEC among other supporting mods from my Turbonetics setup before hand.

First of all let me say that I LOVED my turbonetics kit, it just couldn't produce the power I was interested in making. The greddy kit is amazing. The car pulls to redline...it's insane. The car is a whole new animal.

I would like to thank CIN Motorsports in Charlotte and Forged Performance in Marietta. There were a great help in my little project.

427@12psi
492@15.5psi

Power levels are quite a bit different than the 340@8.5psi I put down on Sharif's dyno with my turbonetics kit. I'm loving every second of it.

It was also nice meeting a lot of you guys on Saturday at the Forged Performance Open House. I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to ZDAYZ

Good job not bad! They seem a little low though.

 

Cams?

 

great #'s post some pics if you can!

 

Nope, stock cams and stock heads. Those numbers are plenty good for me...at the moment

 

congratulations bro!

and those numbers are great =]

when you visiting the valley?

 

Congratulations on your new-found power! Absolutely awesome, man!

 

Haha I'll get out there someday Jorge.

I'm very happy with the way it came out. Sharif and a couple others can vouch for my LACK of traction issues The car squats and takes the hell off.

 

I have to say it was nice to meet you this past Saturday. I hope you enjoy the power. Oh yea, those were some tight a** wheels you had.

Could you or if Sharif reads this, PM me on what type of oil catch setup you are using. I want to get that done. Very nice and simple. I think I know what it is and where it comes from but want to confirm.

 

+1....DJ's car is one of the few that actually hooks up pretty decently in 2nd, and perfect in 3rd. It's a blast to drive, since it pins you in the seat, rather than spinning the tires.

Our new Dyno reads almost identically to our old one....ie...very low. At this weekend's dyno day, bone stock Z's were in the 207-216whp, and the basic bolt-on setups were putting down about 220'ish. These numbers are solid for his bone stock heads, and DJ's objectives were met. Safe, reliable, and usable power....this really is the sweet spot.

Enjoy, and thanks for rocking the new Forged sticker.

PS: How did your date go, with the asian girl???

 

very nice setup and configuration. do you plan on getting any dynojet numbers just for the hell of it?

 

Here is a shot of your 492 chart:

 

what rear bumper is that? Kick *** car by the way.

 

Haha the date DEFINITELY went better than expected

I'm rocking the Forged Performance stamp of approval on my windshield

Phunk- I definitely plan on getting dyno jet numbers just to see what it puts down on the "industry standard". I told Sharif my goal was 501rwhp on a dynojet...I think that goal was met

PoweredbyZ- Thanks for posted the chart and the picture!

Ripdrift- That's the stock bumper with the center rolled. I had a JIC single on the car when I was running the turbonetics so I did the rear bumper mod. I was worried how the new exhaust would look with the rear rolled...but I personally like it a lot. Thanks for the compliment

You must be a newb. Its stock with the center folded under.


Anyways sick car dude. I love the sleeper look with the exception of the big a$$ FMIC and the custom plates. Any chance for some videos?

 

This picture makes funny things happen in my pants. Nice car man!

 

Congrats, solid #'s for a stock cam/head set-up. For comparison-when my car did 491whp on Sharif's dyno, it did 525whp 494ft/lbs on a Dynojet the same day within hours. That was with a fresh motor, 3000+miles later it feels much stronger. I rarely switch from this power setting as Sharif says and I agree its a sweet spot in warm temps I can peddle 2nd gear and blast from 3rd on up.

BTW-I remember when my FMIC looked that clean, damn I gotta polish that thing and straighten some fins out

 

nice derek!! nice exhaust too btw....



congrats on the new found power...

 

Damn that IC looks super clean....wish mine did.

 

Hey tyler i tried to cleaned it for you .. geez. =P jk
